It is not the quota-driven attempts at representation, mandated by studies of current demographic targets, where skin, genders, and identities can be swapped like someone swaps dresses, but the deep-seated, mostly invisible and hidden drives that distinguish the fantasies of a man from those of a woman (or those between people with widely different personalities, for that matter.) You simply cannot change the sex of Jirel and Guillaume and assume the story is still the same or that it still would make sense." <br /><br />It is about time someone started addressing these issues.Howie K.
